Ballet Dreams

I was once a ballerina.  I think a lot of little girls were.  I wore those uniform black leotards and pale pink tights and tiptoed on those flimsy ballet shoes.  And I longed for those recitals when we finally got to wear those pretty, sparkly outfits. Even more, I longed to be tall and slim [...]

Reminiscing…WINLAW Ball 2008

Probably the best ball I ever attended while I was in law school was the one in Sonya’s Garden. I love, love, love the place. The food was wonderful and the ambiance was just perfect. I have to admit, it was the ball I prepared for the least. I had an exam earlier that day [...]

Stereotypes

My very first day as a law student, I came from a photo shoot for work. While dressed very simply in a white button-down shirt, jeans and my then favorite pair of stiletto boots (may it rest in peace), my hair was still styled to carefully contrived abandon, and my face was fully made up. [...]

Renewing Vows

A promise to make a flame out of every flicker,    and to give back the brightnessto those who rekindled the light… It’s amazing how lives can change in a matter of days. Last night was seven years back in time. Life is wonderful, and once again, I promise to be all you see in [...]

:(

So my first blog entry in a looooong time and I’m blogging about Brad Renfro. Sorry, affected ako eh. I can’t believe he’s dead. Wag lang talaga si Michael Treanor (Rocky of 3 Ninjas). He is The One That Taught My Heart How To Love. And since we’re all friends here I can safely admit [...]

IHL na ako! (and debate musings)

I finally made my decision and tonight I officially joined the IHL (International Humanitarian Law) moot court team. When I was informed that I had made it to the IHL team, I was also told that I was being given the option to waive the slot in favor of a shot at joining the Jessup [...]

“Tuli” Trials and More

I have a godson that I spoil to death. He’s lived with us from birth and he’s the little man of the house. And if we’re honest, everyone one of us would say that he has us wrapped around his little finger. But he learned early on that I’m the biggest pushover. When I still [...]

We Called It “Badminton”

I just received an email from R, a dear friend in L.A. that had me laughing my pants off. Reminded me of when we still lived together in this huge apartment ages ago. We had another flatmate then, M, and we absolutely loved poking fun at her. One of our favorite sources of amusement was [...]

Airports

I hate airports. I especially hate airports during peak travel season. The lines are long, the porters are pesky and the bookstores almost always run out of the good stuff. I hate airports. *** I was on my way to Bangkok for the Asians (All-asian Universities Debating Championship) one summer when my hatred of airports [...]

The world is passing me by…

While I was in the middle of reading a looooong case, its digest due in a couple of hours, my phone rang. It was R. Good friend, great hangout buddy, ultra reliable harbinger of fun and drinking mayhem, inventor of the glorious, infamous Tisay that had us crawling all over Rastro. He then tells me [...]
